Happy Birthday! Firefox Celebrates 5 Years of Being Better than Internet Explorer
Someone cut the cake, and be sure to save a slice for Microsoft, who probably won't be attending Firefox's fifth birthday. That's okay, because plenty of former Internet Explorer users have sent in their RSVP.
It's hard to believe it's been five years already, and in that relatively short time span, the open source browser has come to claim over 330 million users around the globe. It's the second most used browser on the planet, and while Firefox's market share is barely visible in IE's rear view mirror, Mozilla's browser is quickly catching up and is on pace to pull ahead well before another 5 years goes by.
In celebration of Firefox's fifth birthday, Mozilla communities all hosting parties are over the place in a campaign called "Light the World with Firefox." Need more details? Check it out here.
